Serenity Moss Garden

SERENITY MOSS GARDEN is now closed. For private or group viewing throughout the year, contact Tom at: tombrass739@gmail.com We are open for public viewing for six weekends each year in March and April. Specific dates for viewing in Spring of 2025: 10am-4pm, March 22-23 / 10am-4pm, March 28, 29, 30 / 10am-4pm, April 4, 5, 6 / 10am-4pm, April 12-13 / 10am-4pm, April 18-19 (closed on Easter) / 10am-4pm, April 26-27.

Serenity Moss Garden has taken over 10 years and 300,000 floral pins to develop. The moss covers an entire hillside area, approximately 10,000 square feet, on Long John Mountain. More than seventy different varieties of ephemeral flowers bloom throughout the moss during the springtime. The moss garden is viewed from a 100 foot long wood-chip trail walk-around.
